Tips from the Community
The ascent to the castle and observatory of Castelltallat is one of the cycling classics of this sparsely populated area. In this mountain range there are only a few farmhouses, which contributes to the low light pollution and makes the installation of an observatory ideal. On the ascent, the views of Montserrat are spectacular.

The Old Bridge of Manresa (Pont Vell) is one of the city's most emblematic monuments and forms part of its most distinctive skyline, along with the Basilica of La Seu and the Cave of Saint Ignatius. Of Roman origin, the current structure is a faithful reconstruction of a 12th-century medieval bridge. It was destroyed in 1939 during the Civil War and rebuilt between 1960 and 1962 by architect J. Pons Sorolla.

I grew up there, long before the observatory and the archaeological works at the Castle. When we were little, it seemed to us that the idea that there was a castle behind the church was a chimera. When it was brought to light, it seemed like magic.

Either on the way up or down, usually between Calaf and Manresa, it is a good point to refuel, hydrate and rest.
